Is the inward force among the molecules of a liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
How is evaporation and boiling different?
In both cases, a phase change from liquid to gas occurs.evaporation normally is associated with a slow process where the liquid molecules, usually on or near the surface of the liquid, gain sufficient energy to overcome atmospheric pressure and the intermolecular forces of the liquid and escape as individual molecules of gas.boiling is usually a more rapid process involving the addition of heat to the liquid until the temperature is = to the boiling point of the liquid. At this point, the vapor pressure overcomes atmospheric pressure and intermolecular forces. In this condition, the liquid molecules not only at or near the surface, but also those within the liquid bulk, begin to vaporize. The result is the familiar bubbles of a boiling liquid. The bubbles are, of course, gas bubbles that escape the liquid as they breach the surface.
Why is the formation of dew a physical change?
because the water molecules form together to form a liquid. molecules of water in the air (Vapour), form on a surface to form a liquid.
Gas changing in to liquid?
a gas turns into a liquid when a hot gas (such as your breath) hits a cold surface (Such as a cold window) The gas suddenly gets cold and forms little liquid molecules (Which in my examples case is water). This process is called condensation
Why evaporation known as surface phenomena?
Evaporation is known as surface phenomena because molecules of water present on the surface of liquid are bonded weakly as compaered to inner molecules and when temperature increases hydrogen bonding between water molecules breaks.Due to this water molecules tend to evaporate.so that's why it is called as surface phenomena.
What is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state?
Evaporation is the process by which molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb enough energy to change to the gaseous state.
Why do molecules at the surface of a liquid behave differently from molecules in the interior of the liquid?
In the interior the intermolecular forces of attraction is equal in all directions but the molecules at the surface of liquid experiences unequal intermolecular forces of attraction. the molecules at the surface are free so the adsorb liquid or gaseous molecules
The process by which water changes from a gas to a liquid?
The process by which water changes from liquid to a gas is called evaporation.At the liquid/ gas surface of water and air, water molecules are constantly escaping from the liquid phase into the gaseous phase (evaporation) and gaseous water vapor is simultaneously condensing onto the surface of the water. If the number of molecules escaping from the liquid phase is greater than the number of molecules condensing into liquid, we call the situation evaporation.ADD: Vaporization. There are two types of vaporization, evaporation and boiling.
Is the inward force among the molecules of a liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
Is the inward force among the molecules of the liquid?
The inward force among the molecules of a liquid is Surface Tension
Liquid changing to gas only at surface is called?
When vaporization takes place only on a liquid's surface, the process is called evaporization.
What is the process called when fast moving molecules break away from the surface of liquid water to from water vapor?
evaporation i think but i am not sure
Why do liquids in sealed containers evaporate?
the liquid is exposed to the air thus allowing the temp of environment to raise its ambient temperature.When this happens the surface molecules of the liquid vibrate more rapidly than the rest of the liquid. This process excites the surface molecules sufficiently enough to increase their energy levels to such that they escape the covalent bonds kno more liquid in the vessel.eeping them bound to other molecules around them,thus allowing the to escape into the atmosphere.Then the next layer of molecules get acted on in the same manner until eventually there is
What is evaporation do when its outside?
Evaporation- The process which molecules at the surface of a liquid, such as water, absorb enough energy to change to a gaseous state, such as water vapor.

The molecules at the surface of liquid water have greater attraction to each other than the molecules in the interior of the water because?
From wikipedia:"The cohesive forces among liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon of surface tension. In the bulk of the liquid, each molecule is pulled equally in every direction by neighboring liquid molecules, resulting in a net force of zero. The molecules at the surface do not have other molecules on all sides of them and therefore are pulled inwards. This creates some internal pressure and forces liquid surfaces to contract to the minimal area."
What happens when liquid water molecules escape from the surface enter into what?
evaporation
